Dynamic Patient Scenario Product Description
Each scenario card set consists of 6 laminated cards attached to each other at the top by two rings. The rings will be attached to a safe, break-away lanyard to be worn around the mock victim’s neck. The victim will be given simple instructions on how to use the cards and how the patient is likely to behave at each stage of the evaluation before the exercise begins. The providers will be allowed to look at the current and all previous cards. The providers will not be allowed to look at any subsequent cards.
Card 1: Simple instructions to the victim and providers and an overall description of the victim’s condition, behavior, and moulage.
Card 2: On scene: Description of the victim’s on-scene status including mental status/behavior, peripheral pulses, respiratory effort, and obvious injuries. The detail here is conspicuously absent which will teach field triage officers not to rely on actual vital signs that are typically presented on the usual victim description cards.
Card 3: Transport: Updated and/or reassessment of the victim’s status including mental status/behavior, peripheral pulses, respiratory effort, and obvious injuries.
Card 4: Hospital triage: Initial full set of vital signs, updated mental status/behavior, peripheral pulses, respiratory effort, and obvious injuries.
Card 5: Treatment unit: Updated vital signs, updated mental status/behavior, peripheral pulses, respiratory effort, and obvious injuries.
Card 6: Lab and radiology results when appropriate and "clinical hint" regarding potential diagnostic studies and treatments as well as what may be harmful to the patient.
